This press release begins: “The U.S. Supreme Court decision in the Citizens United case lifted many of the legal restrictions on the political activities of nonprofit organizations funded by corporations. This has created a new environment in which corporate and union funded nonprofit groups may exert greater influence on politics, a topic explored in detail in a special issue of Election Law Journal: Rules, Politics, and Policy, a peer-reviewed publication of Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. The issue is available free online. ”

I note that as of now the entire issue is free, meaning not just this excellent symposium, but also my article on the Supreme Court’s shrinking election law docket, and book reviews by Alex Keyssar, Ned Foley, and Mike Pitts.
